I wonder if ... and since we know DNF will have dismemberment ... how will it affect an octobrain if you shoot off its tentacles. Will it lose balance? Will it go spinning around and hitting stuff in random? Will it turn into an oversized basketball - bouncing around... or maybe just a football waiting to get kicked? Maybe it might just piss it off, but my personal favourite is the spinning meatball.

I think Halo 3 is a visually very appealing game, doesn't look "like shit" at all to me.

There's nothing wrong with the environment. You talk about that then bring up Halo 3? The strip club looks like a strip club and the Hoover Dam looks like the Hoover Dam. Only problem I see with the graphics in those shots is the jaggies.

DNF graphics look more high res than Halo 3.

I don't think Halo 3 looks like shit either. Definitely a step up from the first two.

I'm a fan of Halo 3 MP but I can understand WHY you don't like it Man, I found this funny:

I was playing a Dukematch with a room full of kids... yeah, kids, wtf? They were amazed at the SPEED of Duke. They couldn't keep up and stated they like it more than Halo 3 DM (which I do too).

That's when you start with the "When I was your age, our DMs didn't have fancy frag counters...We had to quit the game after every 10 frags or whatever when we wanted to end the round and change the map...Back in my day we had to let our modem dial up for 2 minutes before we had a connection and we had lag to contend with not only our opponents...etc, etc, blah blah."

Oh how I wish I could join you guys. . .to get my ass kicked (at least for the first few rounds until I get the controls understood )

Anyway, these shots look great imho. One guy was telling me that MGS4 looked better, even pulled out screens to compare and I was like, they look the same. . .Seriously, I can count triangles on these things, but I am special like that.

No anti-aliasing ruins the shots a bit. (I'm a graphics whore)
But at least they're honest and showed it in its purest form.
I would've have cheated and scaled the shots down from 1920x1200 or something, to make it look smoother.

Looks like Duke4.net is really getting hammered! Congrats on the exclusive guys

She's pretty, not "damn-she's-making-my-noodle-dance-samba"-pretty, but still very pretty... - Micki!

I think when the game comes to fruition, ppl will have to eat their words because of how awesome it will be. The screenshots looking that goood at that res, makes my mind stagger to think how they will look in motion at 1680x1050.
